I was born in 1990, so I maybe older than you if you were born a year or two later.

Since the OED company is a god damn cocksucker, I don't have access to the content. I did a search at Wiktionary for 1967, then page searched for "coined" and among the results it said:
hologram
coined by Arthur Koestler in The Ghost in the Machine (1967).
lateral thinking
coined by Edward de Bono in 1967
naked ape
Reportedly coined by Desmond Morris in his book The Naked Ape (1967).
bananadine
Coined for a hoax in the Berkeley Barb in 1967, presumably from banana +‎ -d- +‎ -ine.
psychotronics
psycho- +‎ -tronics, coined in 1967 by Zdeněk Rejdák to avoid the negative connotations of parapsychology and to define it as interdisciplinary subject
isolect
dialect; coined as a neutral term between ‘language’ and ‘dialect.’ [From 1967.] 1967, Alfred B. Hudson
Ecumenopolis
Coined by Konstantinos Doxiadis in 1967

Aww mine had to be cringy, for a musical scene that far succeeds what my actual musical tastes are.

If one's interested: 1991.

I thought Catherine was 26 (ergo 1989) but whatever, she's a bit delirious at the best of times.

How the fuck are you older and more stupid than myself? That doesn't make sense. You're maturity level is like 5 years below mine.
